CON EDISON'S FREE ONLINE CALCULATOR =
ENERGY SAVINGS

NEW YORK – A free energy savings calculator from Con Edison's website (www.coned.com/myenergytoolkit) can help customers tally their energy-savings investments.

Con Edison Customer Service Representative Rosalva Nuñez introduces customers to the nine easy steps they can take in a 10-minute home energy survey. Using the calculator provides money-saving steps as well as current programs and rebates available for those who take energy efficiency measures.

"Taking environmentally-sound steps to reduce energy use is quick and easy," said Marilyn Caselli, Con Edison's senior vice president for Customer Operations. "Using the calculator lets you know how you will get the biggest bang for your buck; it takes your building's age, exposures and features into account, and even allows for weather variations to yield a sophisticated payback analysis."

Con Edison's energy calculator software was developed by Apogee Interactive, of Atlanta, which specializes in accurate energy-use analysis in the utility industry. The company has analytical software that powers more than 400 utility energy efficiency and smart grid communication programs.

Apogee's sophisticated software was customized for Con Edison and tested with accounts that reflected the service area's varied building stock, company rates, and weather patterns. Customers input some information to receive energy savings estimates, and can refine more specific results using their own billing data.

[NYSE: ED], one of the nation’s largest investor-owned energy companies, with approximately $13 billion in annual revenues and $39 billion in assets.
